Transflection Blanket

A transflection is an innovative technique combining a reflection in a line and a translation along that line, creating unique and stunning designs. One captivating result of this technique is the zigzag pattern, which can be produced from a simple line segment through the repeated application of transflections. This particular pattern for a reversible blanket is not only functional but also visually appealing, making it perfect for cozy throws or decorative blankets that look beautiful from both sides!

BLANKET SIZE: The pattern is designed for a blanket that measures approximately 39 inches by 36 inches (99 cm x 91.5 cm) when expertly blocked. However, one of the wonderful aspects of this pattern is its versatility; you can easily adjust the size by adding or subtracting repeats of the stitch pattern. Whether you want a larger throw for your couch or a smaller lightweight blanket for a child, this pattern can accommodate your needs!

MATERIALS REQUIRED: To complete this reversible blanket, you will need the following materials: Main Color (MC) – 400g of worsted weight yarn, and Contrast Color (CC) – 100g of sport weight yarn. Choose colors that complement each other to enhance the visual effect of the zigzag design!

For this project, a US size 8 (5.0 mm) circular knitting needle is recommended, preferably 32 inches (80 cm) in length or longer to comfortably accommodate your work. Additionally, you will need 2 US size 4 (3.5 mm) circular knitting needles, ideally measuring 60 inches (152 cm) in length, to manage two edges of the blanket simultaneously on each needle.

Get ready to enjoy the relaxing and rewarding experience of creating this beautiful transflected zigzag blanket. It’s perfect for beginners and experienced knitters alike, providing a delightful challenge that results in a stunning finished piece. Happy knitting!
